Unicode Version 17.0
ð‘“‚
U+114C2 "ð‘“‚" Tirhuta Sign Virama is a diacritical mark used in the Tirhuta script, which is traditionally employed to write the Maithili language. This sign functions as a virama, also known as a halant, meaning it is placed beneath a consonant to cancel its inherent vowel sound, thereby creating a conjunct or a dead consonant. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that the Tirhuta script can be accurately represented in digital text, preserving the proper phonetic and orthographic rules of Maithili in modern computing environments.
